Added that latest light they offer, that TLR - slightly longer, matches a C2's length (for carry) perfectly.  C2 Acro and TLR HLX by Solo__, on Flickr |

Attached File ETA who are we going to for optic cuts nowadays? I just need a simple RMR cut and ideally it wouldn't take 5 months. |

I’ve had a few issues with it, functionally speaking. Yeah, there are a few areas where it seems they didn’t feel the need to clean up, but whatever. I love the aesthetics of the quantico hicap, but if I were to do it over, I’d look elsewhere. |

It was this or a Staccato XC. Same price (this was slightly used.) XC will need to wait a while. Grip, controls, fit, finish and trigger are awesome. Mags kind of suck but I have plenty of Staccato ones. Attached File |

... love that grip (buying me it - with that texture, I have the older one) AND I'm glad to see you bought that light too as I have (pictured above). Cool shit. |
|
How does the feel of the grip compare to a P or C2?

Have the same gun- it feels very good, but I am used to the full size grips and prefer them, since I can reallly wrench down on them. That being said, the grip is perfect for those who want exactly what staccato advertises it as, one gun. Big enough to fight with, slim enough to conceal, no sacrifice in capacity and Im willing to bet extended magazines will be forthcoming. My wife has smaller hands, and this gun retired her aluminum frame P (well, more or less made another one "mine"). Its perfect for her. The P was doable, but was at the upper limit. |

| I was hesitant to purchase a C2 after hearing about how large the grip circumference was. I dumped a g21 years ago due to the size, and heard the C2 was similar. Kinda reconciled with the fact that it would likely need grip work as well. I bought the gun, and after a case of ammo, I believe it was always a non-issue. I shot it back to back with an instructor’s CS at the last class I took, and I noticed no discernible difference between the two sans maybe the slightest bit of recoil. I don’t see it carrying any better either. |

A friend needed some help with his 5" prodigy. The disconnect was hanging up the slide a tad so did a little polishing. She is super smooth now. He also wanted a few things done including my stippling. Here she is with new stippled grip, a Staccato trigger (stock trigger machining was really rough) and drop the trigger down from 4.2lbs. (pull weight now down to 2.5lbs - range gun for him).

Thinking of going with a DPP. |

Get a HS507 comp or a RMR HD. They are so much better when turning up the speed dial. |

It's all good. I don't run & gun much these days, so I think the DPP will work fine for my purposes. The DPP only cost me $320 direct from Leupold with the mil discount, so I'm not out much money and if it doesn't work out, I'll swap it out for a Holosun or RMR HD. I don't have any experience with the 507 Comp, but I have had good luck with their EPS. |

| I recently traded into a Staccato P with a Leupold DPP mounted on it. I was very pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to pick up the reticle. It comes on when needed, just like the RMR02 on my duty G17. The extra height and window acreage has turned out to be a benefit, not a detriment. I'm not trying to conceal carry it and I haven't thrown it across a canyon either, so I can only speak to its use at the range. The online reviews seem to be pretty good, though. I'm happy with it! |

I don't have any experience with the 507 Comp, but I have had good luck with their EPS. Although not mounted on a 2011, I have an updated (second generation) DPP that I've had on my EDC M18 for 4 years and 8k rounds. It's been great, although battery consumption is considerably more than an RMR or SRO. The DPP is perfectly fine, although there are "better" options out there like the Holosun and Trijicon offerings. Attached File |
